Gluttonous Thursday: about 160 thousand guests

About 160 thousand guests took part on this year’s Gluttonous Thursday-action in more than a thousand domestic restaurants.

The Hungarian National Tourist Office’s (Magyar Turizmus Zrt.) survey showed that 28.2 percent of the responding restaurants awaited the guests in Budapest, 53.9 percent in rural towns and 17.9 percent in other settlements. This year – just like in 2011 – nearly a quarter of the restaurants joined the initiative for the first time, while half of the “experienced” restaurants reported that due to the former action they were able to extend the number of their guests.  (MTI)
